You are already on IPStream Max which is a BT product bought in by Orange with speeds up to 8. You're speed is 0.5 which could be as good as it gets due to the distance you are away from the exchange.

Have you ever been with an ISP where you have had a faster speed?

The figure causing the problem is Attenuation (dB) : 63.5 - to get faster this figure needs to be lower, whether that is possible is another question.

What I would do is take everything out of phone lines and plug router in. Make sure you have decent filters.

Then look at this:

With luck your attenuation may improve, but I have got my doubts.

But remember if you do use the 2 and 5 wire trick then do the same for all the extension boxes. In a large house with many metres of phone cable the removed wires represents a significant reduction in "aerial effect".

Another option is to re-wire with Cat5e, see :-

for when this provides an improvement.
